(A) It shall be unlawful for any person to sell or distribute any beer, liquor, wine or other alcoholic beverage, or otherwise engage in any activity for which a license or permit is required by the Texas Liquor Control Act, within the city unless he has a current and unrevoked license so to do issued by the city. The annual fee for such a license shall be in the amount equal to one-half the amount of the license or permit fee imposed by the state to engage in a similar activity. All such fees shall be paid in advance for one year at the same time the State License or permit fees are due, unless such fee is collected for only a portion of the year, in which event, the fee required shall cover the period of time from the date of the license to the date the State License or permit expires and only the proportionate part of the fees shall be counted as one month in calculating the fee that shall be due.
(B) Upon payment of the applicable fee to the city and exhibition to the City Secretary of a license or permit duly issued by the state to the applicant or person paying such fee, the City Secretary shall, in the name of the City of Harker Heights, issue and deliver to such applicant or person a city license to engage in the business in the city of the character described in and authorized by the permit or license from the state held by such applicant or person. The license so issued in the name of the City of Harker Heights, shall authorize the conduct of such business upon the premises described in the license from the state and shall remain in force only so long as such permit or license from the state remains in force.
